How will you find the valency of chlorine, sulphur and magnesium?
Valency of a particle is the quantity of electrons acquired, lost or shared to finish the octet of electrons in the valence shell.
Valency of chloride: It has electronic design = 2, 8, 7
In this manner, one electron is acquired to finish its octet thus its valency is 1.
Valency of sulfur: Its has electronic design = 2, 8, 6
In this manner, 2 electrons are acquired to finish its octet and henceforth its valency = 2
Valency of magnesium : It has electronic design = 2, 8, 2
Accordingly, it can lose two electrons to achieve octet and thus its valency = 2

Which of the following has more inertia: (a) a rubber ball and a stone of the same size? (b) a bicycle and a train? (c) a five-rupees coin and a one-rupee coin?
State the universal law of gravitation.
Which of the following are matter?

A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force (Fig. 11.3). Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?
What is meant by a pure substance?
How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?
In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water

Calculate the number of aluminium ions present in 0.051 g of aluminium oxide.
(Hint: The mass of an ion is the same as that of an atom of the same element. Atomic mass of Al = 27 u)
According to the third law of motion when we push on an object, the object pushes back on us with an equal and opposite force. If the object is a massive truck parked along the roadside, it will probably not move. A student justifies this by answering that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other. Comment on this logic and explain why the truck does not move.
